livin this way of life and havin the personal beliefs that there may be a spiritual life beyond death, helps me to understand that the actions, behaviors, and thinkin, i do while livin here on earth is a practice for somethin spiritual beyond today. when i live my best today, as good as i can, i get to rest assured that i have done what is necessary to live as my HPs will would have me. even as it may have been full of self-righteousness, self-centeredness, and prideful ego while out doin my dirt, today i get to make an amends for those behaviors and thinkin by livin my best day right now. recovery has shown me the personal problems of my past days and offered me an opportunity to learn from them and live better today. havin found what i believe to be my HPs grace, i get to live it and watch it materialize hope as i trudge through my moments. mannn, i get to go on livin to better effect today! ive learned how alcohol is my weakness, my alcoholism. and i aint gotta suffer from mental conflicts from which i look for escape by drownin my problems in whiskey anymore. i can face the realities of life with peace of mind usin the spiritual principles of recovery. today i get to have the freedom of control over unstable emotions. i get to reap the harvest of all i have built up by doin the right thing; livin the way i perceive my HP wants me to live. with what i perceive is clear guidance from Him, i get to go forward quietly along the path of daily life with an attitude of quiet faith receivin its reward as surely as i act upon my HPs direct guidance. it is my hope that today i leave a legacy for others that was made better than it was when i got it. each day i get to improve my life, and in doin so, hopefully improve the world around me. livin fully in the present, soakin up all the responses of the life i am immersed in for the moment, is the closest i can get to my HP, as i practice walkin this spiritual kindergarten. when i focus on livin with others, friends, and family, i get to hear my HPs message through them while growin my spirituality. i get to hear what i need to hear when i listen. when i willingly choose rightful behavior and thinkin, i choose rightful consequences. 1 day @ a time...
